Kurt Schnaubelt traces Aromatherapy's French origins paralleling the development of pharmacology. Grounding his inquiry in the chemistry of body odors and natural human aromas, he explores the molecular make-up of the major essential oils: their composition, biosynthesis, and effects in healing - including their actions as anti-inflammatory,  antihistaminic, anti-bacterial and anti-viral agents.  Understanding the chemistry of the essential oils allows one to appreciate their effects and applicability.  Kurt earned his  PhD in Germany from Technical University of Munich. He  is a true Pioneer of Aromatherapy in the US. He shares his views on world politics and economics issues as they affect our health choices.

Schnaubelt holds to the philosophy of Self Care and the power of healing yourself,  and "small is beautiful." Kurt has specialized in the research of anti-viral effects of essential oils.
